  Philadelphia Union 1 vs. Seattle Sounders 0 Highlights CJ Sapong continued his fine run of form as the Sounders continued to feel the effects of the missing 3 DPs. The Sounders defense still looked strong and the offense even seemed to enjoy some good run of play, but the offensive firepower was just lacking. As for the Union, you have to …

  Colorado Rapids 1 vs. FC Dallas 1 Highlights Despite the loss and amidst the seemingly continuous offensive struggles of the Rapids throughout the year, this result was actually a positive.

  Seattle Sounders 0 vs. Sporting Kansas City 1 Highlights Well….. I’ll keep this short since I’m a Sounders fan and run the risk of ranting for 5 pages. This game was some BS from the offside call on Neagle to the penalty on Seattle. The Sounders were missing their two star players among others and still deserved to beat SKC. …

  DC United 3 vs. Chicago Fire 1 Highlights The Chicago Fire looked very promising early on with an attack being led by Shipp (because of Maloney’s Int’l duty absence) and Accam.

MLS Fantasy Round 13 Review (Part 1)

  Seattle Sounders 1 vs. Colorado Rapids 0 Highlights Sounders passed Colorado off the field in this one. Even though they didn’t create many chances, it didn’t matter because they didn’t need the chances if they could control the game as well as they did and to be fair they probably could’ve had a few more. I will say the …
